The satellite that North Korea claimed was the reason for its defiant rocket launch yesterday appears to be 'tumbling out of control' as it orbits the Earth.
According to U.S. defense officials, the object which was launched at 7.49 p.m. ET on Wednesday in opposition of international opinion has adopted an unstable trajectory and could crash land to the surface with potentially dangerous consequences.
While admitting that the craft was 'some kind of space vehicle' the White House has said that the rocket launch was a highly provocative act and today the United Nations Security Council called it a 'clear violation' of U.N resolutions.
The embarrassing loss of face for the secretive country has led to fears that the object which North Korea claims is a weather satellite could collide with other orbiting vehicles above Earth.
